Introductory 

THIS book is divided into three parts. Part 
I is devoted to the description of American 
Woodworking machines for vocational 
schools. Part II has to do with the operation of 
some of the machines with the view of helping 
the student to a better understanding of the 
correct position to take at the various machines 
he will be called upon to operate. Part III is 
of primary interest to the teacher or director of 
vocational work, especially to those on whom fall 
the responsibility for specifying equipment for 
their schools. 

The guiding principle in the construction of our 
machines rests solely on the nature of the work 
they are to perform. Our engineers are constantly 
seeking the highest requirements of the trade and 
making improvements accordingly. 

We have kept pace with the highest developments 
in electrical drives. The direct application of both 
A. C. and D. C. motors to saw arbors and cutter 
heads, as illustrated in this catalog, are original 
and exclusive with us. When a motor goes on an 
American machine it becomes a part of the 
machine itself (see our Headblock Lathes, Jointers, 
Saw Benches and Surfacers); you will find no 
clumsy makeshift arrangements here. 

Please file this book where you can get hold of it 
when you need anything in woodworking 
machinery.

The Men Who Work in Wood 

The men who work in wood! — here is a clan 

That other workers well may envy- — these 
Who serve so much, so well, their fellow man, 

Who turn to use the tall and sheltering trees. 
The roof of green becomes a roof of gray, 

The sturdy trunk the pillars of a home. 
They fashion us the infant's cradle, they 

Are part of every threshold, every room. 

The chair we dream in by the cheery fire, 

The board at which we gather for the meal, 
The bed to which our weary limbs retire, 

And everything we know and love and feel 
They shape from fallen forests for our need — 

Yea, even that last room in which we rest. 
When we lie down to rest at last indeed, 

The woodland's sainted lily on our breast. 

Theirs not the dust of mines, the grime of toil 

In sweaty shops of steel and molten brass — 
Theirs is the scent of sawdust and of soil 

The song of waters, wind across the grass. 
In everything they make for us they leave 

The wooded upland and the quiet shores, 
Yea, into every article they weave 

Some memory of God's great out-of-doors. 

— Douglas Mallock 

In American Lumberman.

The Newell Automatic Saw Guide 

TN the Newell Automatic Saw Guide the grinding members, instead 
of being rigid as in all other guides, have a swinging movement 
which allows the back of the saw to swing freely while the teeth 
are held practically stationary. 

With these Guides the operator can force the saw around the short- 
est curve without kinking or straining it. Deep cuts can be made 
straight from top to bottom without dishing out, thus enabling the 
operator to saw close to the line of his work without spoiling it or 
making a lot of hand finishing necessary. 

The swinging movement of the Newell Guide compels the saw to 
follow true to the line of pressure. Any tendency for the saw to 
deviate causes the guide to react upon it immediately, thereby 
correcting the deviation. 

There is great economy in the use of the Newell Guide inasmuch as 
the saw breakage as compared with any other guide is considerably 
reduced. 




Combination Band Saw Filing, Setting and 
Jointing Machine 

THIS is the only machine made that performs the two operations 
of filing and setting the band saw at one time. This places it 
in a class by itself, there being none similar to it on the market. 

The powerful elliptical movement of the filing arm, working between 
heavy adjustable bronze slides, guided by vertical rods set at an 
angle, is mechanically perfect. It gives each tooth a clean, sharp 
cut, and can be so delicately adjusted as to leave the teeth without 
a particle of burr. All teeth are filed and jointed to an exact uniform 
height and size. It means less breakage of saws, longer life, quicker 
work, and smoother and better cutting. 

The setting device not only sets the teeth perfectly, but also each 
tooth in such a way as to allow the proper clearance behind the 
cutting edge. 

All wearing parts are made of steel, and the vise, through which the 
saw passes, is steel lined. 

The time it takes to file, set and joint band saws in one operation, is 
only a fraction of the time occupied in hand filing. Standard files, 
\y 2 " extra slim taper or 7" slim taper, are used 




Figure 1260 



American Band Saw Brazer 

THE illustration shows a new device for heating the 
joint with a flame and blowpipe, which overcomes 
the objections to the old method and is proving very 
satisfactory in practice. 

The Saw Blade is beveled or "scarfed" for the lap, on the table, 
which is machined true on the face and back, and suitable damps 
hold it while being operated upon. The Blowpipe is supplied with 
air from a double-acting pump with receiving chamber, fitted with 
good leather valves and double-cup piston packing. The capacity 
of the pump is much greater than the requirements, and very little 
exertion is needed to get sufficient heat to braze saws \}i" wide. 

The Lamp is attached to the machine, and has a very large ellip- 
tical wick, giving a long, steady flame which becomes hottest at the 
point where it is forced against the saw by the air blast. Kerosene 
is used for fuel. 

The Brazer is made ready for use by simply clamping it or screw- 
ing it to a bench and attaching the blast hose. We furnish brazer 
complete, one piece of hose, a quantity of prepared spelter and 
pulverized borax, some fine tying wire and full directions for braz- 
ing with either spelter or silver solder. The time required for 
scarfing down the ends of the blade, adjusting it and completing 
the braze is from eight to fifteen minutes, dependent on the width 
of the blade and skill of the operator.

American Filing Wheels, Vises and Scarfing Frame 

OF the ordinary appliances for keeping saws in order, we have 
filing wheels and studs, two sizes of filing vises, brazing and scarf- 
ing frame with tongs. 

The Filing Wheels and studs are made plain but serviceable, and 
are designed to be attached to a bench, as indicated in cut. We 
do not furnish the plank shown. The wheels are covered with 
heavy canvas, and the right-hand one adjusts horizontally to 
strain the blade. 

The Vises are made with jaws either 10" or 18" long. When an 
outfit is ordered we furnish the one 10" long unless otherwise 
stated. There are adjustable stops in the vises, so that the blade 
will not sink when filed. The jaws are planed true and will grip 
the whole length of the vise. 

The Brazing and scarfing frame for holding the saws when they are 
to be joined can be placed in the vise or screwed to a bench, which- 
ever is the most convenient. The entire outfit is simple and all 
that is necessary where a small amount of this work is to be done.

14" long; Vs", y 2 " and H" , 16" long. 



Technical Features 

Table — -Made of iron; size, 36"x38". Strain — The strain is a new 
and practical design, permitting a high speed and an even tension on 
the blade at all points of the stroke. Variation in the amount of 
tension can be put on the saw by applying a crank (which is furnished) 
to the square end of shafts. Under Guide Ways — These aie so con- 
structed that their expansion when warm does not tighten the cross 
heads, which is an important feature. Tight & Loose Pulleys — 
6"x3"— 1200 R.P.M.

New American Self-Contained Jig Saw 

THE New American Self-Contained Jig Saw is for use in all kinds of 
woodworking plants where interior and exterior irregular sawing 
is to be done. Being self-contained, it is more rigid than the usual 
style of machine where the strain head is fastened to the ceiling. 
Capacity — Length of stroke 4". 36" from saw to column. 10" can be cut under 
the guide. Blades from 12" to 20" can be used. 

Technical Features 

Four saws are furnished: %" , 14" long: H", W and S A", 16" long. 
The Column — Has wide foot flange and three-point bearing on the 
floor, insuring rigidity. The Table — Is iron, 32" x 38", well 
ribbed underneath and mounted on a segment, and can be tilted 
either to the right or left 30 degrees. It is 39" from the floor. The 
height of the entire machine is 7' 7". It is also provided with iron 
swinging drawer for extra saws, wrenches, etc. Straining Head — 
Having no links, pivots or levers to wear and get out of alignment, 
makes a perfect self-contained strain. There are two large coil springs 
used for the tension and a wrench is provided to apply to the square 
ends of the spring shafts to regulate the amount of tension required. 
A long retracting spring is used to counterbalance the movable part 
of the head and the straining device can be raised or lowered and 
locked in position by an eccentric lever for different lengths of saws. 
It is also provided with a brass plunger pump which furnishes a blast 
to free the work from dust. All sliding parts are adjustable and 
the bottom end of the pitman is fitted with babbitt bushing. The 
brake and shifting device is convenient to the operator for starting 
and stopping the machine. Tight & Loose Pulleys — 6"x3" — 1200

American No. 40 Chain -Feed Edging Saw 

THIS is an extremely rigid and well-designed machine for ac- 
curately edging crooked and uneven stock and cutting out 
checks and imperfections. It will rip to widths leaving the edges 
perfectly straight at a rate equal to the output of two or three 
hand-fed saws. All the adjustments are in sight and are made 
from the front of the machine. 

Capacity — Will rip stock as short as 8" and to 24" wide. Distance 
from saw to left hand of table 24". Largest diameter of saw used 
14"; smallest, 10". A 14" saw will rip stock 4" thick and under. 
A 12" saw is furnished with the machine. Hole is l£l$" with ^" 
dowel pin IjV' from centre of saw to centre of pin. A jointing stone 
and holder are furnished. 

Technical Features 

Main Column — -Is the cored type, exceptionally heavy and strong, 
making a rigid support for the saw and the upper feed works. It is 
gibbed to the frame in heavy ways in such a manner that when 
clamped to the frame by the clamp lever it is absolutely free from 
vibration. It is adjusted by a screw with ball end-thrust bearing 
operated by a large hand wheel at the front of the machine. 
Arbor — Is 2" diameter and runs in three self-oiling bearings. Pul- 
ley, 8"x7", speed 3000 to 3400 R.P.M. Sight feed oil cups are 
provided. Feed Works — Consist of an endless-feed chain in the table 
with pressures above to keep the stock in firm contact with the 
chain. There is an in-feed and an out-feed pressure roll of large 
diameter. The in-feed roll is driven, thus making it more positive 
in entering stock for straight ripping. Rolls are horizontally mounted 
on hinged arms and have independent vertical adjustment with 
spring pressures applied to each. This affords flexibility that per- 
mits the stock to enter the rolls easily. The arms of both the in- 
feed and out-feed rolls can be adjusted so they can be kept in perfect 
alignment with the saw and the feed chain. The saw and rolls are 
entirely enclosed making an efficient suction hood. The hood is ad- 
justable on a screw with ball bearing end-thrust operated by an over- 
head handwheel and has graduated scale to indicate height of the 
rolls. There is also a kick-back or sliver guard back of the in-feed- 
ing roll which makes a complete protection for the operator. The 
front of the roll hood is provided with a sight that indicates the 
location of the saw for sighting the cut. A section of the circular 
hood for the saw can be removed for changing saws by loosening 
two hand wheels and the suction pipe does not have to be removed. 
Three rates of feed, usually_60, 120 and 160 lineal feet per minute are 
provided. Quick change of feed is made, without throwing off the 
power, by lever at the left of operator. Binder lever controlling the 
feed is at the right of operator. The driving mechanism on the 
right side of the machine for the endless feed chain and in-feed roll 
consists of steel roller chain and feed pulley which are entirely en- 
closed. Table — Is fitted with an endless chain which travels on an 
independent bed plate with the wearing surfaces lined with steel. It 
can be adjusted vertically to insure perfect contact with the stock 
on the table. The adjustment is made by hand wheel and screw 
from the in-feeding end of the machine. The front end of the bed 
is also adjustable, transversely to and from the saw. This insures 
perfect alignment with the saw at all times. Sight-feed oil cups are 
provided at the right-hand side of frame for lubricating the chain. 
Countershaft (furnished as an extra) — Is provided with tightener 
for drive belt with 12"x8" T. & L. (self-oiling loose) pulleys; speed 
1000 R.P.M. Motor Drive— Can be supplied by mounting motor 
on a special bracket which takes the place of the usual outer bear- 
ing, a flexible coupling connecting the motor shaft direct to the saw 
arbor.

American No. 30 
Universal Saw Bench 

OUR No. 30 Universal Saw Bench 
is a machine that will do rip- 
ping, cross-cutting and dadoing in 
an efficient and thorough manner. It 
will cut a perfect miter; it will mea- 
sure any angle instantly and accu- 
rately; it will cut off to length or rip 
to width — all without the operator 
having to do any previous calculat- 
ing or even referring to a rule. 
Capacity — Rips from I 1 „" to 27 r 2" and cuts off to 31" wide when saw is set for 
2" thick. An 18" saw may project 5K" above the table. The table tilts to 45° 
for bevel sawing. Two 18" saws l l A" hole are furnished. If necessary one 20" 
saw (not adjustable) can be used. Dado heads 2><" wide can be used. 

Technical Features 

Frame — Is a unit casting, massive and rigid, having three points of 
bearing on the floor. Table — Size 40"x48". The movable section is 
17" wide, guided by an accurately fitted tongue and groove and sup- 
ported on adjustable anti-friction rollers. It can be drawn away 
from the main table 3" for dado work. Main section is 23" wide, and 
is ruled for ripping up to 21 l / 2 " wide. The entire table can be tilted 
to 45° by means of a worm and worm segment. The segment is ac- 
curately graduated and can be clamped at any point, and there is a 
fixed stop on the frame for the horizontal position. Gauges — There 
are four gauges, three for cutting off and one for ripping. The prin- 
cipal cutting off gauge is pivoted to the sliding section and can be 
stopped at the principal angles with a taper pin, and by a patented 
attachment all intermediate angles can be quickly found. We apply 
also in connection with this gauge our patent graduated sector on the 
table, by which stock can be cut to required angle without calculation 
when the length is known. The two swivel cut-off gauges move in 
a slot in each section of the table. The supporting tongues extend 
the whole length of the table and can be reversed when not in use, 
maintaining an unbroken table surface. The ripping gauge is adjusted 
by taper pins and micrometer rack and pinion and can be used on 
either side of the saw. The stationary table is ruled across its face 
for accurate ripping. The fence can be tilted to 45°. The entire 
gauge can be swung to an angle for roughing out core boxes. Seg- 
ment Gauge (self-contained) — Can be supplied as an extra for 
jointing segments of glued-up rings, gear wheels, pulleys, etc., from 8" 
diameter with four segments upward. It is attached to the right- 
hand cut-off gauge. Arbor Yoke — Carries two hard steel arbors I, 7 /' 
diameter with sell-oiling boxes and 4K"x6^" pulley between. The 
yoke revolves on a disk 22" diameter, fitted into a bored bearing in 
one wall of the frame, and on a supporting gudgeon in rear wall, this 
bearing being shouldered both ways to prevent end motion. The 
circular adjustment is made by a worm wheel and worm of quick pitch 
with adjustment for wear. A special arbor sleeve is furnished to take 
the place of the nut and collar when a dado head is used. A sawdust 
chute is cast into the frame and delivers at the rear. Countershaft — 
Has Tight and Loose (self-oiling) pulleys 12"x6^", 700 R.P.M. It may 
be placed on or under the floor. Idler jack, pivoted inside the frame, 
carries two self-oiling guide pulleys. Motor Drive (extra) — Takes 
the place of the countershaft and can be attached directly to the main 
frame, making a self-contained unit ready for wiring. Safety Guard 
shown in cuts is an extra.

American No. 444 Single Finishing Planer 

'TPHIS machine is the latest development of a finishing 
planer and the fourth in the line of improved de- 
signs for this type of surfacer. Our experience dates 
back over twenty years, and thousands of our planers 
are in use in many of the leading wood shops in this 
and other countries. They are in furniture, chair, in- 
terior trim, carpenter, pattern, box, sash and door, auto- 
mobile, wagon and implement factories, and in many 
of the leading manual training schools. 

Capacity— Made in three widths, 24", 30" and 36", and 
to 7" in thickness; pieces from 4" long up can be sur- 
faced true. Feed from 18 lineal feet per minute upward 
according to the requirements of the work. Usually 
two rates of speed are furnished, 22 ft. and 30 ft., but 
with the variable feed the maximum can be 85 ft. With 
our patent sectional roll and chipbreaker, narrow strips 
of varying thickness can be surfaced simultaneously, 
thus increasing the capacity of the planer several hun- 
dred per cent. 



31 



Technical Features 

Feed Rolls — Are 5" diameter, all driven, and, unless otherwise 
ordered, turned smooth, except the upper in-feed roll which is corru- 
gated. Our patented sectional in-feed roll has no rival for power, 
durability and convenience. Each section carries eight tempered tool 
steel springs 2}/&" long, and repairs, under reasonable working condi- 
tions, are rare. The construction is such that an entire roll can be 
taken apart and reassembled in a few minutes. Sections and drivers are 
of hardened steel. Roll shafts are held down by long range tempered 
steel springs adjustable for tension. Feed Drive — Is by belts in the 
high speed portion of the transmission, hardened steel roller chains 
for the intermediate, and cut gears for the rolls or slow portion. This 
makes for simplicity, economy of power and smooth action of the 
rolls, all necessary conditions for a high grade planer feed. Cylin- 
der — Is of hard forged steel, triangular with three knives or round 
with thin knives if desired. Journals are 2%" diameter, care- 
fully ground and lapped. Boxes are of the side clamping type 
with automatic circulation of oil and emergency oilers in the 
caps. Pneumatic cylinder pulleys 5"x5K" are clamped on to 
conical bearings. Ball bearings can be furnished at an extra price. 
They consist of two pairs of bearings to each journal with steady 
collars between each pair and ample facilities for oiling, the require- 
ments being much less than for the babbitt bearings. Chipbreaker — 
Is made solid or sectional to correspond with the in-feed roll. It adjusts 
in grooves concentrically to the cylinder and can be lifted out when 
required. When made solid, it can be lipped with flexible steel. 
Sections are of hardened steel. Pressure Bar — Hangs close to the 
cylinder and is adjustable at either end by finger wheels; it is ordi- 
narily made yielding, but may be rigid and adjustable in height when 
so ordered. Bed Plate — (In three sections) is machined on entire 
surface; the center section lies under the cylinder and is removable for 
any purpose; the in-feed and delivery sections are usually slightly below 
the line of the cylinder bed, but can be adjusted to suit conditions. 
Main Bed — Is supported on heavy inclines, which move on tracks cast 
upon the frame. The machined surfaces are scraped to a bearing and 
ample provision is made for oiling. The adjustment for thickness is 
made by means of two square threaded screws coupled together and 
operated by a large central hand wheel and cut gears. Knife Jointing 
and Setting Attachments-^Are extra and consist of a permanent 
slide bar secured to the frame over the cylinder on which the setter and 
jointing slide move and may be pushed to the end of the slide bar when 
not in use. When ordered a knife grinder can be put in place of the 
jointing plate, usually motor driven. Motor Drive — For belted 
planers we can furnish a special motor with extended shaft to receive 
pulleys at each end to drive the cylinder. This can be located on 
the floor behind the planer or overhead. For simplicity and economy 
of room and belting, we recommend our new directly attached motor 
secured to the cylinder on a taper with holding nut. Motor frame 
is bolted up to a supporting bracket directly attached to the machine 
frame and is adjustable to concentricity with the rotor. Counter- 
shaft—Has T. & L. (self-oiling) pulleys 12" x 7 %" , speed 850 R.P.M.

and 32 feet per minute. 



Technical Features 

Feed — The feed rolls are set as close as possible to the cylinder, and 
the upper in-feed roll is fluted and is held down by adjustable spring 
tension attached to equalizer bar. All the rolls are Zyi" diameter and 
the two upper ones are driven by gearing. The feed gearing is strong 
and well arranged and is driven direct from the cylinder; there is a binder 
pulley and lever for starting and stopping the feed. Cylinder — Is a solid 
steel forging two-sides tapped, with bearings 1 H" diameter and 8" long, 
carefully ground and boxes scraped to them, so that they will not heat 
on starting if properly oiled. If desired a round head can be furnished, 
without charge, and also a knife setting and jointing attachment, at 
an extra price. The cylinder boxes are cast on the frame and have 
patent side clamping caps with self-oiling devices arranged for con- 
stant circulation. Bed — Is very rigid, the vertical web being 10" 
deep and strongly ribbed under the cylinder plate; it has six points of 
support on the frame, four of which are planed ways with suitable 
gibs to take up wear. There is thus no teetering as the lumber enters 
the rolls, and no vibration under the cut of the cylinder. Pressure 
Bars — Are carefully fitted, and pieces 4" long can be planed without 
dubbing the ends; the chipbreaker works concentrically to the 
cylinder within the limits of the cut, and as close to the knives as is 
safe; both bars are adjusted to the stock independently, and hang 
2%" apart at the lips. Countershaft — Has T. & L. (self-oiling loose) 
pulleys, 10K"x5 V 4 "; speed. 800 R.P.M. Motor Drive— Can be fur- 
nished as an extra and as shown in cut consists of an A. C. motor

r other buzz planer has the ad- 
justment, solidity of construc- 
tion and advantages of this one. 
There are no links, wedges, pin- 
joints or eccentrics under the table 
to get out of adjustment or wear 
slack; by putting the frame on t hree 
legs it is impossible to strain or 
twist it by bolting down or by the 
settling of the floor, and there is no projecting flange for the operator 
to tread upon. By means of the large hand wheel at the right, the 
working table can be moved instantly either way, without requiring 
the operator to change his position in the least. The design and 
method of fitting up is such that the tables must be true and re- 
main so, and they cannot twist, rock, strain or be displaced, no 
matter how uneven the foundations on which they are placed. 
Capacity— Made in sizes to work material, 8", 12", 16", 20", 
24", 30" and 36" wide. The cross-shaft under the short table can 
be adjusted by slacking the segment clamp screw, and the rear 
table will then drop down sufficiently to make a hollow or "spring" 
glue joint. Furnished with each machine; one pair of plain knives, 
plain rabbeting bracket, necessary wrenches, and a countershaft, 
with our improved (self-oiling loose) pulleys and hangers. 

Technical Features 

Cutter Head — A round safety cutter head with thin knives is the stand- 
ard equipment ; a square headwith plain knives will be furnished if desired. 
Ball bearings for machines up to 24" can be furnished at an extra 
price. Adjustable Bevel Gauge — Is provided, secured to the rear 
or short table, so as not to interfere with the movement of the working 
table. The gauge is indexed so as to be set instantly to any bevel desired. 
Tables — The tables are 7' long on all machines. They are heavily ribbed 
and provided with steel lips. The rear table is grooved H" deep and has 
an adjustment for making hollow glue joints. Both tables can be drawn 
away from the cutter head on a level independently of the incline adjust- 
ment, so as to leave an opening 7" wide to admit t he use of special cutters 
for beading, moulding, grooving, etc. Countershaft. — This is furnished 
with tight and loose pulleys according to size of machine, as listed below. 
Motor Drive — Can be furnished as an extra and, as shown in the cut 
above, consists of an A. C. 60 cy. motor mounted directly onto the 
extended journal of the cutterhead. Motor frame is adjustable to the

Direct-Attached Motor Drive, 6" and 8" Jointers 

American Bench Jointer 

DESIGNED for a great variety of small work such as is found in 
pattern shops, chair and furniture work, and manual training 
schools. The frame is a single casting, made amply heavy, with 
inclines at both ends upon which the tables move. The 6" and 8" 
machines are made with or without a base, at a difference in price; 
when without a base it can be set upon a bench. The 4" machine 
is furnished only as illustrated with motor drive and without 
pedestal. It is strictly a bench machine. 

Capacity — Made in three sizes with 4", 6" and 8" heads respec- 
tively. Furnished with two thin knvies. 

Technical Features 

Tables — The tables are each a single casting carefully fitted to the 
inclines with adjusting screws for the cut and clamping levers to secure 
rigidity on the frame. Top surface is planed and scraped to exact 
alignment after the parts are all fitted together and clamped securely; 
no chance for an error. They are 41" long over all on the 6" and 8" 
machines. On the 4" machine they are 22". The rear table has a 
5/16" rabbeting groove. Cylinder — Is a solid steel forging round 
and provided with two thin knives of either high-grade tool steel or 
self-hardening steel as ordered ; the pulley is Zyi" diameter and 
receives a iy 2 " belt and may run 3200 to 3600 R.P.M. or higher in 
some cases. Either babbitted or ball bearings can be supplied; 
the latter are furnished regularly with machine. The ball bearings 
are the latest and most perfect radial ball and collar construction, re- 
quiring the minimum of power and oil. The 4" machine is furnished 
with babbitt bearings only. The Fence — Is secured to the rear table so 
as not to interfere with the adjustment of the long table to the cut, 
and it may be tilted to 45 degrees or any intermediate position, and 
rigidly clamped at any point. Countershaft — Has T. & L. (self- 
oiling loose) pulleys, 6"x3$i"; speed, 800 R.P.M. Motor Drive — Is 
furnished as an extra. Our direct-attached motor drive is available 
in either D.C. or A.C. Motor on 4" machine is connected by flexible

American Safety Jointer Cylinders 

OUR Safety Jointer Cylinders are made in three styles, as 

illustrated, and are known as our Standard Two-Knife 
Cylinder, Special Three-Knife Head and Special Four-Capped 

Head. The first two are of the same construction, the last is 
simply a square cylinder with the sides capped with bars which 
give it a round cross section. This cylinder has two sides slotted 
.which permit the use of moulding cutters (by_ detaching the caps), 
and two sides with knives. It will be seen that the construction of 
our two and three-knife safety jointer cylinders is very simple, con- 
sisting of a steel forging turned round and with slots planed length- 
wise to receive the thin knives and knife clamping blocks with 
provision for adjusting the knives. In fact, the simplicity and 
absolute safety of these heads over others have recommended them 
to many of the best mills everywhere, and they are passed by 
insurance companies and state inspectors invariably. 
The Four-Capped Safety Jointer Cylinder with dovetail slots for 
attaching special knives for variety work is strictly a special head 
with us, and is furnished on our machines only on special order. 
The knives furnished with each head depend upon the quality 
and temper of steel desired. Unless otherwise specified we furnish 
special steel knives tempered to file cr grind. High speed, hard 
steel knives are extra. The grade of knife should be specified when 
ordering the cylinder. 



American Patent Round Surfacer Cylinders 

We have been manufacturing Round Surfacer Cylinders for many 
years and are prepared to supply the most critical users with the 
best that money can buy. We make them up to 8}4'' in diameter 
with two, three, four, six and eight knives, the number of knives 
depending upon the nature of work to be done and the machine 
to which the head applies. The construction of these heads is 
simple, consisting of the same fundamental features described 
above, varying only in detail as the purpose requires. 



American Thin Special Steel Knives 

Our thin jointer knives are yi" thick and ground parallel all over. 
We can furnish them to file or to grind for sharpening. 
The best knife for surfacers is made from special steel, heat treated by 
experts with the most modern equipment and is a product recom- 
mended for fast feeds and high speed. These knives are the last 
word in high grade woodworking knives, and we know from experi- 
ence will meet all reasonable requirements on hard or soft wood at 
high speeds. They are strictly guaranteed as to material and 
workmanship. 

All knives are yi" thick and usually 8", 12", 16", 20", 24", 27", 
30" and 36" long. Standard widths are 1%", IK", W, W, 
\%" and \i/i". Special widths can be made to order.

American No. 505 Fast Feed Four Side Moulder 



OUR No. 505 is an advanced type of American Moulder. It is 
a strong, rigid and well-built machine with all adjustments 
and conveniences necessary to a moulder. The machine is fitted 
to receive straight knife jointing forms for top and bottom and side 
heads. All parts are easily accessible and one wrench only is needed 
for set-up. 

Capacity — Made in three sizes, 8", 10" and 12" wide, each to work 4" thick. 
Four forged steel, 4-sided, slotted heads, with two knives on each, and knife set- 
ting and jointing attachments for all heads with jointing forms for straight 
knives. Self-centering heads at extra cost. Four-knife round heads at extra 
cost. 

Technical Features 

Table — Clamped securely to the frame at three points of contact — 
gibbed with provision for wear. Adjusts 10" on large screw with ball- 
bearings and reducing gearing. Reversible plate under top head, 
grooved on one side to allow for projection of cutters, and adjustable 
endwise. End platen swings down out of way to give access to knives, 
and is cushioned by a spring. Feed — Consists of four power-driven 
rolls with cut gears and driven by hardened roller chain and sprockets 
inside the frame; controlled from either end of machine. Top rolls are 
5K" diameter with removable outside bearing. A heavy equalizer bar 
on inside of frame connects with the top feed roll yokes and keeps the 
rolls parallel with the face of the bed — preventing any twist or strain 
on shafts or gears. Top rolls lift by means of lever near operator. 
Lower feed rolls are 6" diameter and may be removed without dismant- 
ling the machine. Rates of feed, 15, 25, 44 and 75' per minute, with 
lever gear shift controlling two rates at a time. Cutter Heads — 
Top and bottom heads are the slip-off type and the spindles run in 
heavy side clamping boxes with screw adjustment. Outside bearings 
for both heads adjustable in gibbed slides and detachable. All heads, 
including side heads, have cutting circle of 6 l A". Outside bearing 
stand securely clamped to frame of machine; adjustable for lining up 
when necessary. Arbors are crucible steel, 1 13/16" diameter where 
head goes on, 2%" diameter in bearings. Chipbreaker adjusts to and 
from cutters; slides back out of the way to give access to knives. 
Pressure foot is hinged on the chipbreaker proper, with springs in the 
hinge, to avoid vibration, and adjusts independently. Pressure Bars, 
in rear of top head and over bottom head, are sectional; adjust hori- 
zontally and vertically; are hinged and swing up over the frame, leaving 
table and side heads clear. Bearings have dust-proof oilers and com- 
pression grease cups. Side Headstocks — Both are securely attached 
to the table — making vibration impossible. Both adjust vertically 
and laterally. The outside headstock may be set to an angle. The 
angular adjustment is obtained by a horizontal screw at the lower end 
of the headstock, which moves the head on a circle, the center of which 
lies on a plane with the face of the table. The angular adjustment 
once made, is not affected by the vertical and lateral adjustments 
of the headstock. Inside head has chipbreaker and take-up. Outside 
head has weighted, reciprocating matcher clip attached to the movable 
block carrying the headstock and moves in and out with the headstock. 
The opening in the bed for the outside head has an adjustable mov- 
able plate for carrying wide material. For narrow stock this may be 
removed. Side spindles are crucible steel 1 13/16" in diameter where 
heads go on and are mounted in our side clamping boxes and run on 
self-oiling pivoted steps. Countershaft — Size of driving pulleys are 
as four to one in relation to all cutter head pulleys, giving excellent 
belt contact. T. & L. pulleys are self-oiling 12"x8", and should make 
900 R.P.M.

American No. 1 — 4" and 6" Moulders 

'"PHE American No. 1 — 4" and 6" Moulders are strong 

and well-built machines with frames cast in one piece. 
They are made to work one, two, three or four sides 
as per code below — and there is little difference be- 
tween them, except the width of the table. Practically 
the only difference lies in the fact that the 6" machine 
has an outside removable bearing for both upper and 
lower cutter heads while the 4" machine has not. The 
following description will answer for both. 

Capacity — Made in two sizes, 6" and 4" wide by 4" 
thick. Bed drops 16" on 6" machine; 20" on 4" machine. 
Four rates of feed — 12, 23, 30 and 5S feet per minute. 
Four slotted heads with two knives for each, one steel 
cap head and a spur feed are regularly furnished. 



Technical Features

provision for wear. Raised and lowered by screw on ball bearings 
by a crank. Rear table swings down out of the way giving access to 
the cutter head. Cutter Heads — Top head has lateral adjustment 
by means of a hand wheel. Under head has both lateral and vertical 
adjustments with adjustable plates in table and swing. There is a 
journal box on each side of pulley on under head arbor. Top and bottom 
heads are of the slip-on type. Arbors are \y&" diameter where heads 
goon. All journal boxes are set on an incline. Inside and Outside 
Headstocks — Have vertical and horizontal adjustments and may be set 
to an angle. The inside head is provided with chipbreaker and take-up. 
Theoutside head is provided with reciprocating chipbreaker which travels 
in and out with the adjustment of the head and retains its position 
when the head is thrown to an angle. Side spindles are provided with 
self-oiling steps and are \ l A" diameter where the heads go on. Pressure 
Bars — They are located in rear of top head and over under head, are 
sectional and adjustable vertically with and without hand screws. Both 
are hinged to swing back over the frame. Feed — Consists of two 3" 
top rolls and one 5" bottom roll, all of which are powerfully driven 
with chains. The top rolls are raised by means of a lever convenient 
to the operator. The top roll yokes are hinged to rise and fall parallel 
with the face of the table. Countershaft— Has T. & L. (self-oiling 
loose) pulleys, 10K"x5"; speed, 800 R.P.M.

Nos. 30-A and 20-A Motor Spindle Shaper 

OF our New Line of Shapers, the Type A Motor Spindle Ball 
Bearing Shaper, is the most prominent one of the group. It is 
made in both the sizes as the other types of the series are. 
As the illustration indicates the rotors of the motors are secured 
to the spindles in place of the usual pulleys. 7200 R.P.M. is the 
speed recommended for the spindles, and at this speed the motors 
develop 4 H.P. each. In order to obtain this speed, a frequency 
changer is required which generates 120 cycle. When a number of 
shapers are located near each other, one frequency changer serves 
them all. These motors are made specially for these machines and 
are always for alternating current, 3 phase, 120 cycle, 220 volts. 
Ample appliances are provided for protecting the parts, together 
with all conveniences for lubrication, adjustments and manipulation. 
The electric connection and control are attached to the frame of the 
machine, making it a unit construction. 

The advantages of this construction are: elimination of counter- 
shafts and belts, saving of much floor space, flexibility of operation 
and a greater economy of power and operating expense. 
The general description of our Type A Shapers is the same as 
that of the others of the series 20 and 30.

American No. 2 l / 2 Tenoning Machine 

THIS machine is designed for sash, blind, furniture and cabinet 
work. The machine is heavy and rigid in all its parts, has 
large base, is convenient in all adjustments, of new design and 
first-class in construction. 

Capacity: — It will cut a tenon 3 pi" at one operation and 6^4" 
long by passing the material through the machine twice. Any 
thickness of tenon may be cut on stock up to 5^4" thick and 15" 
wide. One set of heads and knives are furnished with each 
machine. Cut-off Saw attachment can be furnished at an extra 
price. 

Technical Features 



The Headstocks — Are both adjustable vertically by means of two 
screws. The top headstock has independent vertical adjustment to 
change thickness of tenon, and has lateral adjustment for cutting 
tenons with shoulders unequal distance from end of material on 
opposite sides. Both headstocks being adjustable in conjunction and 
with one screw enables the operator to center, or place, his tenon 
instantly. The Cope Headstocks — Are attached to the main head- 
stocks and are adjusted with them. Each also has independent 
vertical and horizontal adjustments. The Carriage — Has com- 
bination roller movement which greatly facilitates the work, both 
in ease of operation and as to quantity turned out in a given time. It 
is properly secured to the ways, provided with guards and cleaning 
device, constantly retaining a perfect alignment with the cutter 
heads. The top of table has longitudinal lines to which the guide 
may be set, for various widths of material, at perfect right angles 
with the cut of the heads. A pocket is provided with spiral spring 
to hold a marker to mark the face side of material as the carriage is 
passed over the ways. The hold-down device is convenient and 
efficient and the fence may be set to any required angle. The rolls on 
which the carriage travels are connected from end to end and mounted 
in a frame, hence the carriage must move perfectly true across the 
ways. This insures not only an easy movement, no matter where the 
operator may take hold of the carriage, or how much weight there may be 
on it, but also perfect work. The carriage is equipped with our Patent 
Bridge Bar and End Stop Gauge. This effects a large saving of time 
and insures accurate work. The Front or Rear Cut-Off Saw Attach- 
ment — Has a lever by means of which the saw may be adjusted to a 
graduated scale, while in motion, to cut off the tenons at any desired 
length. This lever is handy to the operator and results in saving much 
time, especially on job work. This cut-off attachment is driven by a 
belt running from the cope counter, which belt may be removed when the 
cut-off saw is not in use. The Cutter-Head Spindles — Are 1 %" diam- 
eter carrying pulleys 4" diameter by 4X" face, and run in side clamping 
boxes 4" long. The cope spindles are Pi" diameter. The Guide Pulley 
— On the rear of the machine which acts on the belt that drives the cope 
counter is a decided advantage, because it gives this belt better contact 
on the pulley on the vertical shaft. The T. & L. (self-oiling loose) 
pulleys are ll"x5X"; speed, 900 R.P.M.

We furnish one pair yi" or %" bits, as ordered. 
Technical Features 

Two Spindles — Are mounted in an adjustable head which swivels 
around one of them, so that they may be set at an angle from the 
horizontal line of the table, as shown in the cut. The range of ad- 
justment is from a horizontal to a perpendicular line and beyond. 
The distance between the centers is adjusted by a screw on a gibbed 
slide independently of the angular adjustment in any position. 
Table — Has a vertical movement on gibbed ways of 9" and forward 
and back movements also on gibbed ways of 6". The Intermediate 
Gear — Is mounted on a radius arm, so that it always retains an even 
mesh with the central spindle and the arm is held rigidly by a seg- 
ment bolted to the frame, thus preventing vibration. Both gear and 
pinions are very carefully cut and matched together, are very wide 
on the face, insuring durability, and they run without back-lash or 
rattle. Main gear is 4" face. Spindles — Are of steel, and the bearings 
are carefully scraped and fitted. The proportion of length of bear- 
ing to diameter is 4K to 1. The Adjustment Screw — For the 
table is worked by a crank under the table, making it very convenient, 
and a foot lever attachment is applied to the table slide so that 
the operator has the use of both hands for the woric. The T. & L. 
(self-oiling loose") pulleys are 8"x3K"; speed, 600 R.P.M.

to 3" diameter and to the center of 20" vertically. 
Furnished with each machine, one plain bit socket for 3 / 2 / ' shanks, 
no bits. A self centering chuck can be had as an extra. 

Technical Features 

Boring Arbor — Is of steel, Its" in diameter and is splined in a steel 
sleeve which runs in a very long bearing of fine babbitt metal, thus 
all the journals on the boring arbor are of steel. A Steady Bear- 
ing—Is placed next to the bit socket so that the wear can be readily 
taken up and the bit prevented from dodging as it enters the work. 
The Vertical Lever — Pulls directly on the center line of the spindle 
and not with a downward thrust. Table — Is iron, 18"x32" surface, 
and has slots for the fence at right angles so that long work can be 
bored endwise as well as across, at any required angle. The table 
tilts to 45 degrees both ways, and the adjustable fence can be clamped 
in any desired position, square, parallel to or at an angle with the 
boring spindle. Numerous holes are provided in the fence for the 
attachment of jigs or stops. Stop Gauge — Is easily reached by the 
operator at his post, and can be adjusted without stopping the 
machine. The Foot Lever — Is arranged to give a good leverage on 
the boring arbor, and there is a returning spring on each side of the 
frame to equalize the action. This arrangement gives a quicker and 
easier movement than a counterweight. The tension may be ad- 
justed when necessary. The Table Bracket — Has a vertical ad- 
justment of 10" and is carefully fitted to the ways with an adjustable 
gib; the screw-crank is removable. The T. & L. (self -oiling loose)

American 12-Inch Speed Lathe 

THE American 12-inch Speed 
Lathe is a strictly high grade tool, 
designed for manual training work 
and will be found adequate to every 
purpose of the class room. It will 
H also meet the requirements of any 

pattern shop for a lathe with a 12" 
r swing. It is built with or without a 

movable carriage and set-over tail 
stock. 

Capacity — It is made regularly with 
a 55" bed which gives a maximum 
distance of 26" between centers. It 
is also made with 48" and 72" beds, 
American Tool Holder giving a distance between centers, 
19" and 43" respectively. It is fur- 
nished with headstock and tailstock with swiveling features as an 
extra. With each machine is furnished a }4" cup center, one 6" face 
plate, one 3" rosette chuck for interchangeable screws, one 6" rest, one 
12" rest, one blue print holder and one center drift for headblock. 

Technical Features 

Bed — Is made of cast iron, carefully planed and finished. There 
are no flanges on the inside to collect dust and chips. Headblock — 
Is nicely fitted on planed ways and secured by clamping bolts. The 
bearings on the belt driven lathes are ring oiling bronze bush 
and adjustable for wear. There are ball bearings on the motor 
headblock lathe. Cone Pulley is made of cast iron and is finished 
inside and out. The spindle is hollow and is made of high carbon 
steel. An end step thrust collar takes up all play. Tailblock — Is 
constructed so the cutting tools may be brought close to the centers 
without interference. Spindle is bored and reamed for centers, hav- 
ing a taper ]/ 2 " in twelve. Countershaft — Has self-oiling bearings, 
four step cone and tight and loose pulleys 6"x2K". 800 R.P.M. 
Motor Drive — Extra according to type. D. C. Motor Headblock — The A. W. 
C. Motor is a special design for use with our equipment only. Its operation 
is very simple, consisting of a start and stop push button station, the 
starting point working in connection with a magnet switch which closes the main 
circuit to motor. The rheostat handle must always be brought back to the 
minimum speed point in order to insure the motor starting on full field. The 
speed can then be regulated between 600 and 3000 R.P.M. by movement of the 
rheostat handle operating through field circuit of motor, and this provides max- 
imum efficiency at all speeds. It is also provided with overload circuit breaker, 
low voltage release and dynamic braking which brings the motor down to 
predetermined speed. The stop button working in connection with the 
low voltage release, with the dynamic feature, brings the motor to a stop. 
A. C. Motor Headblock — An A. C. Headblock on a Speed Lathe is an entirely 
new idea; and, the fact that it is new and because we originated it, we are not a 
little proud of it. Heretofore an A. C. Drive has been obtained by mounting the 
motor on a saddle underneath lathe and belting from the cone on motor to the 
one on the headstock. The convenience and safety of our new Motor Head- 
block idea over the old method will be readily apparent since the use of belts is 
eliminated. Motor is K H. P. 3 phase, 60 cycle and gives four speeds — 570, 
1,140, 1,710, 3,420. (A 2-phase installation can be had at a slight additional 
cost.) The controller, like the motor, is made especially for use after our own 
specifications. It is mounted in the leg of the lathe and is operated by the lever 
shown in cut. It is totally enclosed and in the "off" position the motor is 
entirely disconnected from the line. Motor Underneath Head Block — This 
motor is K H. P. and is mounted on a saddle underneath the headblock and 
enclosed. To the motor shaft is attached a four-step cone pulley which is belted 
to the cone pulley in the headstock through an opening in the bed of the lathe. 
This motor may be a D. C, a single-phase A. C. motor, or again a two or three- 
phase A. C. motor. The illustration shows a polyphase motor, any voltage, 
running 1800 R.P.M. The Starting Apparatus, as shown below is an American 
Iron-Clad Fused Switch which is totally enclosed.

American No. 2 "Columbia" Three-Drum Sander 



74 



American No. 2 "Columbia" Sander 

OUR Columbia Sander was the first machine made with a suc- 
cessful automatic take-up drum. The machine in recent years 
has undergone many minor improvements, and the product we turn 
out today we designate our Columbia No. 2. 

Quite recently we have added a new method of driving the drums; 
that known as our Silent Chain drive which is furnished at the 
option of the purchaser. See page 76. 

Capacity — Made regularly to open 8", but can be made to open 12" thick at an 
extra price. There are three rates of feed, and the machine is furnished with 
drums covered with sandpaper ready for use. 

Technical Features 

The Top Frame — Is supported on all four corners on posts, and 
rises and falls on raising screws, which have bearings on top and bot- 
tom. All back-lash of the screws is avoided, whereby one of the 
most common causes of poor work — viz., the rocking of the top 
frame — is overcome. All operators who have had to contend with 
back-lash in the raising screws will appreciate our device for over- 
coming this fault. The Cylinders — The most important feature of 
a sander, are three in number, each made in one piece, of semi-steel 
casting, turned, ground and balanced on especially constructed ma- 
chines. They are provided with our patent automatic paper tight- 
ener, which takes up all slack in the paper while the machine is doing 
its work. Tight-fitting paper is the first requisite for good work. On 
no other make of sander is found this automatic feature, as it is covered 
by our own patents, and we guarantee that in all instances it will 
perform just what we claim for it; namely, that the paper on the drums 
will be kept at an even tension at all times and at all points. 
The adjustment of the cylinders is regulated by hand wheels, placed 
together on the working side of the machine in convenient reach of 
the operator. The raising and lowering is accomplished by wedges, 
which give the cylindershaft boxes a firm support, avoiding all jump- 
ing as is necessarily the case when raising and lowering is accomplished 
by screws. For re-covering the cylinders with felt or cloth, it is not 
necessary to take them out of the machine, as is the case with other 
makes of sanders, since this operation can be performed with little 
trouble while the cylinders remain in their respective places in 
the machine. Feed — There are three speeds of feed practically in- 
stantaneous. The lever and segment for operating the feed are 
located on the left hand side of the lower front girt. The segment 
contains five holes — three for the different speeds of feed, and two 
intermediate holes for instantaneously stopping the feed. The de- 
vice is accessible through an opening in the front girt of machine. 
Power Hoist — Is provided for the top feed works, which is not only 
a saving in time but also in labor. Its action is prompt and per- 
fectly reliable. In The Oscillators — We have obtained mechanical 
perfection, and by our device the reciprocal movement is absolutely in 
the line of the axis of the cylinder, thereby avoiding any lifting or 
cramping motion. This is imperative to secure good work. The Boxes 
— For cylinder shafts, oscillators and counter-shafts are self-oiling, 
having oil receptacles and drain plugs; the loose pulley is also similarly 
arranged.

Clamps Closed 



Clamps Open 



Automatic Sand-Paper Take-up 

THE illustration above shows two transverse sections of the 
Columbia Sand-paper drum and reveals the operation of our 
Automatic Take-up, which, we claim, is the simplest and most 
efficient device of its kind made. 

The drums are cast in one piece (not made by short sections set- 
screwed to the shaft), which greatly enhances the rigidity of the 
shaft removing from it all trembling. 

The Take-up frame or paper stretcher is also cast in one piece, 
and swings loosely on the drum shaft. Before it is inserted into 
the cylinder it is carefully balanced. 

The clamps consist of an oval steel bar fitting closely in an oval 
seat. One clamp is fastened to the cylinder casting, the other to 
the Take-up frame. They are actuated by eccentric clamp shafts. 
Turning these in one direction closes them, and turning them in the 
opposite direction opens them. 

The clamp shafts press on a series of flat springs in order to accom- 
modate different thickness of paper at the same time, furnishing 
an excess of pressure. The paper being held in oval seats with the 
aforesaid excess of pressure can never pull out. 

The Take-up is held back by a series of eccentrics while the paper 
is being put on the drum. As soon as these are released the coil 
springs come into action pushing it towards the other side of the 
open slot. As it is mounted on the central shaft and moves on the 
line of the circumference, any slack of paper that may occur will 
instantaneously be taken up as it appears. 

To put the paper on the Columbia drum is the simplest kind of a 
job and requires but a moment. Place one end of the paper into 
the set of clamps on the strike side of the drum and close the 
clamps; then revolve the drum until the other set of clamps appear; 
insert the other end of the paper into the remaining set of clamps 
and close them. This done, release the eccentric, and the work is 
finished. 

If it should become necessary to re-cover the drums with felt or 
canvas the operation is easy and consumes but little time. There 
is a half-round strip of steel under which is fastened the felt on the 
strike side of the drum. The other end is simply tucked in and 
held by the take-up. When it is remembered that there are sanders 
on which the drums have to be taken from the machine before 
they can be re-covered, this is no small item in favor of the Columbia. 



77 



Wedge Block Adjustment 
of Drums 

THIS illustration is a broken out 
view of the wedge block adjust- 
ment as applied to the Columbia 
Sander. By the use of the wedge 
block we have an absolutely rigid 
support that will not wear, as 
is the case where the drums rest 
on screws. Hence, no lost motion 
can occur to disturb the parallelism 
of the drums. 

A, represents the drum box stem 
which fits closely into a reamed 
hole in the frame. Across this stem 
is planed deeply a diagonal slot 
which the wedge block, B, engages. 
This wedge block slides in a sub- 
stantial housing in the frame — represented by C. The wedge blocks 
on both sides are connected and adjusted by hand wheels at 
the front of machine. 

A careful study of the illustration will clearly show the rigidity 
that must obtain with this construction, and the superiority over 
raising screws must be readily apparent. 

If it should become necessary to adjust these wedges for an align- 
ment of the drums (which is most unlikely) provision is made for 
that, and it is simple — requiring nothing but the turning of a screw 
in the block itself. 




A Perfectly Central and Non- Cramping Oscillator 

THE oscillator is the most deli- m 

cate piece of mechanism in 
the construction of a sander and 
the most difficult in which to over- 
come wear and lost motion. As 
implied in the title, its action must 
be perfectly central and there must 
be no cramping. In other words, 
there must be no pulling up and 
down. 

The flexible joints together with 
the eccentric and strap illustrated 
here insure an absolutely central 
oscillation. 

Means for the perfect circulation 
of oil is an essential feature of the 
Columbia oscillator, as well as of 
the drum shaft bearings, and is 
clearly shown in the illustration. 

Provision is made for taking up lost motion in the oscillator bearings 
as shown by the reversed collar on the end of the drum shaft which 
is filled with fibre washers. Babbitted washers are located between 
the collars and the oscillator boxes to prevent any wear there.

Quick Change of Feed 
Speed 



O 



iN the Columbia Sander 
there are three speeds of 
feed produced quickly by our 
gear change illustrated here. 
The principle is about the 
same as that used in auto- 
mobiles and is instantaneous. 
The lever and the segment 
are located on the left hand 
side of the lower front girt. 
The segment contains five 
holes — three for the different 
speeds of feed, and two inter- 
mediate holes for instantane- 
ously stopping the feed. 
All the component parts of the device may be easily 
replaced should occasion demand it. The device is 
accessible through an opening in the front girt of machine. 




Rigid Screw Corner Post for Feed Works 

A NOTEWORTHY feature in the construction of 
^^ the Columbia Sander is found in the method of sup- 
porting the upper feed works frame, whereby the greatest 

rigidity possible is obtained. 
The four cast iron corner posts 
contain each a short heavy 
screw with a bearing top and 
bottom. To these screws the 
frame is attached and a coil 
spring with a take-up nut is 
placed below it to take up any 
wear that may appear in the 
screw. 

There are sanders whose only 
support for the feed roll frame 
is four long corner screws fast- 
ened only at the bottom; with 
all such the roll frame is never 
steady and when feeding thick stock it will sway back 
and forth. Not so with the Columbia — there is absolute

American No. 7 Disk and Spindle Sander 

Vy/'E have incorporated in this design all the 
requirements for a combination sanding machine 
for Pattern, Furniture, Chair, and general woodwork 
for either flat or curved surfaces. Ball bearings are 
provided on the operating spindles; all moving parts 
are driven from the main arbor and provision is made 
on the base for the attachment of a motor with auto- 
matic belt tightener for driving the arbor; or it may 
be driven from the countershaft which is furnished 
unless otherwise specified. The machine is made in 
three forms, viz. : as shown in the engraving with disk 
and vertical roll spindle; with disk and drum; or with 
two disks; either form admits of the unit motor drive 
when ordered as an extra. 



Technical Features 

Main Frame — Is massive, has a broad base and is a single casting in 
cored form measuring 26" x 31" on the floor. The Disks — Are of semi- 
steel K" thick, machined to hold the cement and put in exact running 
balance. Dust hood under the table is arranged to connect with an 
exhaust pipe. Disks are quickly removable from the main arbor for 
changing the sand paper. Disk Table — Moves vertically on ma- 
chined and hand fitted ways and is counterbalanced by protected 
weights; a foot lever linked to the slide and operated from the right 
hand side of the machine overcomes the friction on the ways and makes 
the adjustment easy; a clamp screw on the slide gib is located over the 
lever. The table is also adjustable to and from the disk and can be 
tilted from 10° up to 45° down by means of a toothed and graduated 
quadrant operated by a worm and hand wheel. The quadrant can be 
clamped rigidly at any angle and the table rests on machined rockers- 
the center line of which lies on the face of the disk. Roll Spindle — 
Has ball-bearings in a vertically moving yoke which gives an end mo- 
tion to the sand roll while in operation. The spindle is 74," diameter 
where the rolls are attached and the latter are clamped on by cupped 
collars and held perfectly central. The rolls are made of kiln dried 
hardwood covered with elastic material and cut in two centrally for 
easy attachment of the sand paper and a quick change of sizes. Roll 
Table — Is 27" x 27" and can be tilted forward 45° and backward 5°. 
It is adjusted to any position by a toothed quadrant and worm and 
hand wheel and after adjustment can be clamped rigidly. Center 
plates are fitted into the table around the rolls permitting quick chang- 
ing and also the tilting of the table but with a close clearance around 
the rolls. Drives — May be by a belt to the main arbor through the 
countershaft: roll spindle can be disconnected from the main drive by 
a clutch which releases all the operating parts connected with the roll 
spindle Motor drive attachment is provided for on the machine 
frame with an automatic belt tightener, making a unit construction 
with starting box attached, needing only connection with the power 
circuit. In ordering a motor drive (extra) state the kind of current 
required; we recommend and usually carry in stock A. C. 3 phase 220- 
volt motors. Countershaft — Has 10 x 5}^ T. & L. pulleys and 
should run 625 R. P. M. giving main arbor 750 R. P. M. Equipment 
— Consists of three spindle rolls with table plates to correspond, one 
extra 30" disk, six No. 1^ sand paper circles, one centering slide and 
one graduated gauge for the disk table, together with necessary wrench- 
es and one can of cement Floor Space — 48" x 65" (with motor 
attached)

American No. 14 Grinding Machine 

/^)UR No. 14 Grinder is designed especially for manual 
training schools, pattern and general woodworking 
shops. It is provided with two 12 // x2 // alundum wheels, 
and one 5"x3>£" alundum cone for wet grinding. It has 
an attachment for grinding flat hand-plane bits. Oil 
stones can be used in place of the alundum wheels, 
but the latter are preferable because they will not gum 
up easily and do not have to be frequently dressed 
off on that account. Two alundum wheels 12"x2" and 
one alundum cone 5"x3J^" are furnished when required. 
Hole in wheels \%" diameter. 

Technical Features 

Frame — Is a one-piece casting with broad foot flange and stands 
free from vibration when the wheels are kept in balance. Arbor — 
Is fitted with a two-step cone pulley, giving two speeds for different 
size of wheels. The driving cone and belt are enclosed in the machine 
The arbor bearings are of good length and are self-oiling. Water tanks 
are located under each wheel and are adjustable vertically by foot 
treaders at the base of machine. Motor Drive — When motor drive is 
required (as shown in the cut) the base of the machine is extended to 
receive the motor which takes the place of the tight and loose pulleys, 
being connected direct to the lower cone shaft. Countershaft — (When 
furnished) has T. & L. (self-oiling loose) pulleys, 8"x3^" and should 
make 1100 R.P.M. for the alundum wheels, or 550 R.P.M. for oil 
stone wheels. Motor Drive — Cut shows A.C motor mounted directly 
onto frame of machine and American Iron-Clad Fused Switch. This 
is an extra.

American No. 9 Universal Knife Grinder 



S4 



American No. 9 Universal Knife Grinder 

AN extremely rigid, well designed, finely fitted machine, intended 
for accurate results by critical users, in grinding thin hard 
steel knives as well as the ordinary planer knives. The frame is 
of pedestal form, cast in one piece, and it supports the carriage 
ways, the adjustable head stock carrying the grinding wheel arbor 
and all the operative parts of the machine. 

Capacity — Made in two sizes, 31" and 37". 



Technical Features 

The Carriage — Moves on gibbed ways by means of a rack and gear- 
ing and is extra heavy and rigid. Stops are provided for changing 
the stroke which can be adjusted when in motion. The actual extreme 
reciprocation of the carriage is about 3" more than the rated capacity 
of the machine, so that the wheel clears the knife at both ends while 
reversing. The Grinding Headstock — Is gibbed down to ways 
planned at right angles to the carriage ways, and the arbor bearings 
are of the side clamping type, making adjustment easy and accurate. 
A. cross- feed screw is provided to adjust the wheel to the work auto- 
matically as the carriage reciprocates, and it has a hand wheel con- 
venient to the operator, for independent adjustments. The Feed — 
Is entirely automatic, the reciprocation of the carriage being con- 
tinuous, and the forward feed of the grinding wheel is capable of 
adjustment from 1-1000" to 1-3000" to each reciprocation. This 
movement is controlled by a stop which can be set so that the wheel 
will cease grinding at any point, and by means of the vertical hand 
lever, the reciprocation of the carriage can be varied or stopped at 
any point. The Patent Knife Bar — Is a new departure in machines 
of this class and enables the operator to grind ordinary slotted knives 
in the usual way, and also provides a clamping jaw to hold thin hard 
steel knives, which may be firmly held and ground without a separate 
attachment to the bar. By a special device, thin knives can be brought 
up to the wheel at an angle adapted to the work to be done, and they 
may be back ground without shifting in the clamp; there is also a 
special duplex index disk on the end of the bar graduated so that the 
approximate grinding angle may be found quickly and the exact 
angle afterward determined by the differential position of the two 
sets of graduations; this device also provides for the changing diameter 
of the grinding wheel so that the grinding angle may always be deter- 
mined accurately. Patent Back Stops — Are attached to both the 
slotted knife face and the thin knife clamp, whereby the edge being 
ground will be kept parallel with the back, and the knife thus always 
balanced. There are many other important details, which render 
this machine superior to any now made. The Grinding Wheel — 
Is 26" diameter, and cased, and provided with a water nozzle and 
return spout so that all emery and steel dust is carried to a settling 
tank with the water. A rotary pump supplies a large volume of water. 
A Countershaft — -Is supplied in the base of the machine, having 
10"x4" T. & L. (self-oiling loose) pulleys, which should run 300 
R.P.M. There is a hand lever shifter for the main driving belt 
attached to the machine frame.

American No. 200 Automatic Self-Feed Knife 
Grinder 

A UNIVERSAL automatic machine that will accurately grind 
any kind of a knife or bar that will lie on a plane surface. 
The frame is of pedestal form, carrying two planed ways on which 
the carriage slides. The solidity of this construction insures per- 
fect grinding. 
Capacity— Made in four sizes, 30", 36", 42" and 50". 

Technical Features 

The Knife Bar — Is so shaped that the grinding may be performed 
either to or from the edge of the knife and a screw adjustment is pro- 
vided for setting the knife at any desired angle. The frame carrying 
the knife bar is pivoted to the carriage so that the bar may be swung 
away from the wheel to provide easy access to the knives when 
changing. The Feed — Is entirely automatic; the reciprocating 
movement of the knife carriage is governed by stops so that any 
length of knife up to the capacity of the machine may be ground. 
The movement of the wheel to the knife can be regulated to grind 
from 1-3000" to 1-1000" to each back and-forth movement of the 
knife carriage. The movement of the wheel carriage when set is 
automatically controlled and the wheel will cease grinding at any 
point desired. We furnish one emery wheel 26" diameter, IK" face. 
A Pump Attachment — And tank are supplied for use when wet 
grinding is desired. The tank can easily be removed for cleaning 
when necessary. If desired the pump and tank can be omitted and an 
overhanging tank supplied at a slight reduction in price. Counter- 
shaft — Has T. & L. (self-oiling loose) pulleys, 12"x3"; speed, 300 
R.P.M.

HpHIS machine is designed to meet the demands for 
a plain semi-automatic knife grinder without the 
automatic cross feed. It is provided with our patent 
combination bar for clamping either slotted or hard thin 
knives. The frame is a heavy cored column, cast in 
one piece, with broad foot flanges, making it rigid and 
free from vibration. 

Capacity— Made in three sizes, 32", 36" and 50". 
Technical Features 

The Carriage — Has an automatic transverse movement across the 
face of the wheel and is provided with adjustable stops for regulating 
the length of cut, and can be instantly stopped at any desired point. 
The Knife Bar — -For holding the knife is slotted, to receive bolts 
on one face and has a series of clamps by means of which hard thin 
knives can be securely held and accurately ground. It is fed to the 
wheel by a hand wheel, as shown. The knife is ground perfectly 
true and can be quickly set at any angle or bevel desired. The 
Arbor — Carrying the wheel is of large diameter and runs in long 
boxes. One Wheel — 22" in diameter by \yi" face, is furnished 
with each machine, and a hood is always furnished with the machine. 
The machine can be used for wet grinding, in which case we furnish a 
small water tank attached to top of hood and from which water is 
dropped onto the wheel. However, the machine when so equipped 
should not be regarded as a regular wet grinder, as no provision is 
made to take care of waste water. T. & L. — (Self-oiling loose) pul- 
leys, 10"x3"; speed, 350 R.P.M.

Motor Drives and Controls for 
Woodworking Machinery 

THE illustrations, throughout this catalog, of mach- 
ines with motors, show the vast improvement 
that has been made in electric drives for woodworking 
machines by this Company. We were the first in the 
field to apply motors to our machines and the develop- 
ment of successful drives has been largely due to us. 

The following pages specify the various types of drive 
for the machines illustrated in the catalog. 

The success of an electric drive depends very largely on 
the type of control used in connection with it. We illus- 
trate the various types applied to our machines on pages 
90 to 96. 

Electric Control Data 




Control A 

Consists of Hand 
Starting Compen- 
sator which com- 
prises an oil immersed 
switch with sliding contacts, 
low voltage protection and 
overload relays. It is used 
with all squirrel cage motors, 
73^2 H. P. and over. 



90 



Electric Control Data — Continued 



Control B 

Consists of an oil immersed 
starter and is designed for 
starting small motors — 5 H. 
P. and under, and is used pre- 
ferably on 440-550 volts, to 
take up dangerous arcing. 




i 

m 

m 

.... . , :■ 



Control C 

Consists of a 3 or 4 pole 
single throw, quick 
make and break switch, 
two protective plugs, 
two hinged covers, 
one over-switch and 
one over-plug. The 
switch is designed so 
it is impossible to open 
unless switch is off. 
Overload is obtained 
by two time limit plugs 
which take care of mo- 
mentary overload in 
starting. It is impos- 
sible to single phase a 
motor with this switch. 

This switch is used in connection with all motors up 

to 5 H. P. 




91 



Electric Control Data — Continued 
Control D 




Consists of a three 
pole snap switch 
mounted on porce- 
lain base with fuses 
and enclosed in a 
Crouse-Hinds special 
condulet. It is used 
only on 2 H. P., 3 
phase motors and 
under. 



Control E 

Is used for direct current 
only and consists of a two- 
pole fused switch for over- 
load and a standard rheostat 
with low voltage protection 
enclosed in metal case, mak- 
ing a totally enclosed unit ; it 
is used in connection with 
all D. C. motors. 





92 



Electric Control Data — Continued 
Control F 




Consists of two-point contactors, magnetic blowout for 
low voltage and fused switch for overload protection; is 



used on all D. 
button control. 



C. motors up to 7/2 H. P. with push 



Control G 

Consists of standard, open rheostat 
for all D. C. motors and does not in- 
clude any switch. 

Control H 





Consists of a standard 
enclosed fused switch, two 
or three phase, used on all 
motors up to 5 H. P. in 
place of time limit if 
desired. 



Control J 

Enclosed fused starter. Its 
motion is automatic in that 
the first movement throws the 
motor directly on the line and 
holding same for a few mo- 
ments, then releasing it, auto- 
matically cuts off the line and throws the fuses in running. 
For all A. C. motors up to 5 H. P. 




93 



Electric Control Data — Continued 
Control M 




Is used on single phase 
motors, and is included in 
price on all 7A H. P. and 
over. 

This control cuts down 
the starting current from 
2 l A to 3A times, running 
to VA, and allows the 
motor to come up slower 




Control N 

Is an automatic A. C. push button type for A. C. motors 
up to 73^2 H. P. 



94 



Electric Control Data — Continued 

Control P 

Is a 2 or 3 phase snap switch for 
A. C. motors, 2 H. P. and under.

The Operation of 
Woodworking Machines 

THE operation of woodworking 
machines forms the subject matter 
of Part II of this book. 

Sufficient examples are given to enable 
the student to arrive at a fair under- 
standing of what is the correct position 
to take at some of the principal 
machines he will be called upon to 
operate. 

The Lathe, the Universal Saw, the 
Jointer and the Sander and their 
operation form the chief source of 
experimental training in the woodwork- 
ing department of the manual training 
school. Consequently we have confined 
our illustrations to these machines. 



103 




FRONT ELEVATI0M Of AMOUCAN SPEED LATHE 

MOTCM DTtlVCN 



Front Elevation of Motor Hcadblock Lathe 
(American 12-Inch Speed Lathe) 

On Operating the Lathe 

The Lathe is perhaps more closely akin to the art 
side of the student's development than any other wood- 
working' machine. And, for that reason, it claims his 
highest interest. With it his skill in forming articles of 
use or beauty is challenged; for what he accomplishes 
depends almost entirely upon himself. That is what 
makes the Lathe so interesting and so essential to the 
equipment of the woodworking department of a voca- 
tional school. The process of turning will always form 
the centre of interest in such a department. 



\M 




The Roughing Cut 

In this illustration the student is preparing to take 
the roughing cut in turning a cylinder. This operation 
consists in removing the corners of the square piece and 
is done with the tool known as the gouge. 



m 




The Sizing Cut 

After the roughing cut has been taken calipers set 
to the diameter desired will determine the depth of the 
next cut. The illustration shows the student performing 
this operation with the cut-off tool. 



10* 




The Paring Cut 

When the correct dimension has been found, as 
shown in the preceding illustration, the next step in the 
process of turning a cylinder is the paring cut or finishing 
cut. This is done with the skew or bevel chisel. A very 
thin shaving is removed by this operation, 



10? 




Cutting the Ends 

This operation is performed by using the cut-off tool. 
It is merely taking a slice off the end. If a very thin slice 
is to be removed, it is usually made by the long point of 
the skew chisel. If it is more than a quarter of an inch 
it should be sized and then removed by the skew. 



108 




Rounding 

If it is desired to round the end of a piece or to pro- 
duce a convex surface the operation can be done by apply- 
ing the broad side of the skew chisel. This is perhaps the 
most difficult operation to perform if accuracy is obtained. 



iw 




Polishing 

This operation is done with a cloth after the cylinder 
has been sanded and while rotating in the lathe. In sand- 
ing, use first a fairly coarse grade of paper, No. 1 or 1J^, 
and afterwards a fine grade, No. or 00. Before applying 
the cloth the wood may be varnished lightly while the 
lathe is not running, taking care to wipe off all the surplus 
varnish. The varnish will assist in giving the surface a 
fine polish when the cloth is applied. 

no 



Face Plate Turning 

The preceding illustrations show the process of turn- 
ing when the piece is supported between the live and dead 
centers. The process shown in the next 
three pictures illustrate the character of 
the work done with the head stock only 
when the piece is supported by the screw- 
centre chuck or face plate. 




The Scraping Gut 



This cut is properly made with the concave chisel 
held in such a position as to give a light scraping cut. 
Care should be exercised not to allow the chisel to extend 
too deeply, otherwise the material will chip with the 
grain. After the desired circumference has been obtained 
the surface should be smoothed with the skew chisel. 

in 




Modeling a Rosette 

This illustration shows the student using the rest, set 
at right angles with the bed or parallel with the face plate. 
Prior to the modeling a shearing cut should be taken with 
the skew chisel to face off the material to an even surface. 



112 




Use of the Dividers 

This illustration shows the use of the dividers. The 
student is marking off to a uniform scale the position of 
the various corrugations in the rosette he is turning.

Front Elevation of Universal Saw 
(American No. 20 Universal Saw) 



On Operating the Universal Saw 

The operations that can be performed on the Uni- 
versal Saw are so many that we shall not attempt to 
illustrate them all here. But enough are given to show 
the characteristic poses involved in cross-cutting, ripping, 
and dadoing, — the three basic uses of a Universal Saw. 

It is a more dangerous tool than the lathe and the 
guard should be kept over the saw at all times, except of 
course, in dadoing when it cannot be used.

Use of Patent Bevel Protractor as Applied 
to American Universal Saw Bench 

The drawing shows a brace extending from a point 
2" in one direction and 4" in another at right angles, the 
object being to determine angles, A B and C. 

The Starting Point of fence is 45 degrees or common 
mitre. In setting fence for the measurement, viz., 2"x4", 
the operator starts at 2" on the Cross Graduated Sector 
and then follows the 2" line, which parallels the travel of 
the saw until he reaches the 4" line. The intersection is 
marked with a star in drawing. 

Angles'. — You will note that you are dividing an 
imaginary block 2" wide by 4* long. The fence, when 
set, registers an arbitrary graduation in circular arc 2j4" . 
This gives you the acute or steep angle A. This setting 
also gives you the key to all angles that it may be desired 
to cut, and it is only necessary to remember the one point, 
viz., 2}4". To determine angle B, set fence 2^4" to the 
left of the 45 degree line. To determine angle C, start at 
90 degrees and carry the fence forward two lines 2j4" > 
viz., 5*. 

118 




Front Elevation of Hand Jointer 

( American No. 1 ) 



On Operating the Hand Jointer 

The great variety of work that can be done on a 
hand jointer depends very largely upon the knowledge 
and skill of the operator. In this fact lies the value of 
this tool as a part of a school equipment, — second only to 
the lathe. It lends itself to so many operations, that the 
student gains much in knowledge and efficiency. 

The five operations following, will give a fair idea of 
the scope of work that is usually accomplished on a hand 
jointer and show something of the method by which the 
work should be done. 

The Jointer is another tool when the use of the guard 
should never be omitted.

On Operating the Sander 

The Sander is an interesting machine in the school 
room for on it considerable "forming" can be done as 
with the lathe, although its prime use is to make smooth 
or polish. 

In the single illustration following, the boy at the 
left is forming a mitre while the one at the right is smooth- 
ing a surface.

Machine Specifications for 
the Cabinet Shop 

IN order to assist school men charged with 
the responsibility of writing the machinery 
specifications for cabinet shop equipment, 
we append the following pages. Any of these 
may be copied literally with the assurance that 
every important item that should enter into the 
construction of a high grade machine is covered 
completely. 

Of course we have used our machines as the 
basis for these specifications; but they will cover 
any other make of high grade woodworking 
machines as well. They are intended as a 
protection against the substitution of machines 
inferior to ours which are known and accepted 
in the industries as the standard. 

The subject Alternative Specifications given after 
each machine refers generally to other ways in 
which certain parts of American machines may 
be constructed and particularly to the latest 
methods of motor drive.
